Another disguised Denali. This one has both Bridgestone and Cannondale stickers on it. I will admit, it looks pretty good in the pics. Good thing I know better.

That's pretty good ad copy. "I've topped out at 75 miles per hour on this uphill" That's pretty manly!

Oh how the mighty have fallen
This is apparently what passes for a "Specialized Expedition" these days:
Womens Specialized Expedition Bike PINK
I'm being unfair to the seller by posting here. It's not her fault Specialized can't think of a name which wouldn't sully their great vintage bikes' reputations (Allez, Expedition, Sirrus, etc).

No link at this time, unfortunately.
Oh, and they only want $250 for it.
OMG I missed this part:
If you want to go even faster you can buy the 700 wheels separately
I spoke too soon, "pros" no less.

Somewhat odd way to describe a bike, yet I agree the bike looks sad and unhappy. A rather unusual build somewhat high end modern parts on a straight steel Pug frame with a claw hanger and steel post just seem kinda wrong and really wrong for $800.

7 Eleven rode Huffys!
Andy Hampsten reported said that he "wished they'd used steel instead of plastic for those shift levers. It makes it hard to get into the big ring!" right after winning the Giro d'Italia.

In his defense (can't believe I'm coming to his defense) I think the chain adjustment is listed as a need, not as a done.
